Cooper’s Nails Were Done

Tuesday, January 10th, 2012… Got Cooper’s nails done yesterday! Basically he has a huge thing for sunflower seeds, he’d take them as fast as I could shell them, and when I tried to get some for myself his little paws hurts pawing into my lap.

Thankfully it is cheap, $11.50 to clip them, and apparently they weren’t considered to be all that long. The first woman asked me if my husband had a dremle, which he doesn’t (we own no power tools). She explained they go for about $20, and table flour helps better than “Kwik-Stop” (the kwik stop supposedly burns). The second woman showed me the clippers that look like pliers, and wrote the proper spelling for the yellow powder (Kwik-stop) to use. The second woman also let me know to grab “Nylabone” for his constant chewing.

I decided to combine their advice, I like the idea of the dremle, and considering I take extra precautions with the kids (I use the forehead thermometer over the one doctors’ stick in the wrong place)… flour! The nylabone turned out to be a really bad idea! He chewed it down to a choking hazard faster than anything we’ve ever given to him. He still has his original teething toys (and still in really good condition). So, I stuck a little peanutbutter inside of his Kong, but instead of chewing it… he just licked inside of the hole. Smart dog!!!
